University of Pennsylvania Nominates Transgender Lia Thomas to NCAA Award | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The University of Pennsylvania is nominating Lia Thomas to win the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. Thomas, a biological male who identifies as a female, came under fire in recent months after winning the women's Division One National Championship in the 500 yard freestyle. Senior Policy Advisor for the Catholic Association, Dr. Grazie Christie, joins to talk more about Lia Thomas being nominated for this award and some of the physical advantages she has had over her competitors. Dr. Christie speaks about some of the dangers associated with giving children hormones intended for a different gender. She explains how these hormones impact fertility, especially as doctors begin treating teens and children. The Heritage Foundation released a study that found that minors who receive gender affirming care without parental consent are at a higher risk for suicide. Dr. Christie fills us in on how important it is to include parents in their children's health care. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
